Could it get any better?
Written by Dan
As you may or may not know, many business projects, during the long march from concept to conception, fluctuate in regards to the amount of activity and/or energy that is being expended to move the project ahead. Some days are chocked full of pant-rending activities, while others fall more along the lines of pant-folding ho-hum-ery. Nicole and I are currently in a lull. We're delaying theater-related work until we return from our trip to Springfield next weekend.
And I have to tell you, it's been a very relaxing break. In fact, this last week has been one of the best in recent memory. Here's a list of reasons why:
- I bought 2 Canon PowerShot SD100 digital cameras for Nicole and I, which we received last Thursday. They're great! Small, powerful, and great tasting too.
- Apple finally fixed my iPod and returned it to me. The problem wasn't fixed, unfortunately, but after being iPod-less for 2 weeks, I'm just glad to have it back - low battery life and all.
- Tammy Pescatelli was kicked off Last Comic Standing. I couldn't stand that woman because 1) she wasn't funny, 2) she really wasn't funny, and 3) she reminded me of our "see you next Tuesday" neighbor.
- Survivor starts tonight, of which I am a big fan. Nicole and I only watch TV on Tuesdays and Thursdays, by the way... so there.
- My cell phone and DSL contracts both ran up last month, so when I called SBC to re-up my DSL, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the service bundles for which I qualified. Since we get our home phone, cell phones, and DSL through SBC, we could add satelitte TV with TiVo for $30 LESS than what we paid last month. I had to sit there and think: Hmmm, $30 dollars more and bunny-ears antenna, or $30 less and satelitte TV with TiVo. $30 dollars more and bunny-ears antenna, or $30 less and satelitte TV with TiVo. $30 dollars more and bunny-ears antenna, or $30 less and satelitte TV with TiVo.
Sir, are you ready to order.
Shush, man! Don't bother me... now, where was I? $30 dollars more and bunny-ears antenna, or $30 less and satelitte TV with TiVo.
- I realize that I sound like a giant blog advertisement at this point, but I don't care. These are things that make me happy.
- I sold my old digital camera and DAZZLE video maker on eBay.
- Nicole and I discovered Qdoba's. Mmmm.
- And finally, our "see you next Tuesday" neighbor is finally, finally, FINALLY getting evicted. After living above this woman for over a year, I can't express to you how happy I am. Tammy Pescatelli and our neighbor booted out in the same week? Can it get any better? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind... listen... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that's about it. I hope I haven't bored you all with my life outside the Moxie. I'm really into the italics tonight, aren't I? Ok, I have to take Bogey out.
